The Legal Risk Score of a Virtual Assistant Agreement Template is Low

Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:

  • The document allows the Virtual Assistant to adjust their fees with notice, potentially increasing costs for the Client unexpectedly.
  • Intellectual property generated by the Virtual Assistant during the service period is automatically owned by the Client, which might discourage Virtual Assistants who wish to retain rights to their creative outputs.
  • The Virtual Assistant is not allowed to subcontract any of their obligations without prior written consent from the Client, limiting flexibility in how they manage workload and resources.
